During an interview with Variety in 2022, the actress discussed the fan theory that Eleven had opened the gates to the Upside Down or that it had not existed before she opened it. The actress went on to say, “This was too big a debate for me to answer,” and that the alternate universe was always present. Additionally, she also stated that Eleven might have had access to the Upside Down because it was under Hawkins’ control, but there was no way she had created it.

The actress responded that the Duffer Brothers had developed her role that season using several dynamic features and her ability to access the Upside Down was just one of those. Additionally, the last two episodes of the fourth season owing to this revelation had really given Eleven’s tale an arc. This had allowed her to accomplish what she needed to do to help those she loved.

Fans are actively rooting for Sadie Sink, who plays Max Mayfield, to not only make a comeback but also to put Vecna to sleep for good. According to several fans, Max will aid in the killing of Creel’s character. Furthermore, Papa told El that Creel does not murder individuals, but rather consumes them and there are several evidences that point that not only Max but also Will was consumed by Vecna.

Stranger Things‘ fourth season did not go well for our redheaded heroine so much so that her comeback was confirmed only recently. According to the final episode, Max Mayfield narrowly escaped the vicious antagonist Vecna. Therefore, it would make sense that the end of Vecna may somehow be related to her if not exactly how fans are predicting. Knowing the Stranger Things writers, they love to add an emotional layer to a thrilling fight and with Max, Eleven, and Vecna, they can do just that.
